And also I think it kind of depends how you set up the cages. Gio likes doing the full tilt natural set ups which look awesome but probably require more room. I do a minimalist set up for ease of cleaning and ease of getting the snakes out as I tend to bug my snakes a lot and take them out and check them over. I means here's my 3 T10s. I'll put up a new pic when I get the 3 T8s stacked up next to it. But as you can see, I keep my cages pretty plain.

Re: Gene finally has a thread!

I've always been a minimalist, I want to keep it simple. I can't imagine Gene getting too much larger as he is nearing 2 years old and still under 6' and hasn't gotten any longer, just slowly getting girthy. I'll roll with the T8 until we get out of the apartment (next year).

Has anyone ever thought about building their own enclosure once you start to get into the 6' - 8' size?

Some new photos of Gene while I cleaned his enclosure (damn daily pissing)

Re: Gene finally has a thread!

Haha actually he does! Not sure how but he doesn't even struggle or overlap himself. He is a runt!

I really feel like you, jmcrook and myself all need to take a comparison shot of our retics next to the same object (paper towel, towel, anything of a standard size) so we can get a better idea of their sizes.

Gene finally has a thread!

This is Phyllis next to her hide, I think it's about 12"x8" or 13"x8-9"...? So she's close to a 9" diameter pile of snake right there. she's every bit of 6 1/2' now and around 1 1/2" at her thickest point. Weighs about 1800grams

Haha that's why I made the shoelace comment about Phyllis recently. Proportionately, as it seems in pictures anyway, Caesar seems to be a slightly stockier build than Gene or Phyllis. I'd say Phyllis's figure is maybe a tad more girthy of a physique than Gene but not by much. She's very long but very lean and solid muscle.
